Unicycle Kenya & Tanzania

Travel at the pace of Africa on this 16 day unicycle adventure. Experience the culture, wildlife and landscapes of this amazing continent.

Every year we use one of our existing researched biking routes and adapt it to suit touring unicycles. So if uni-touring is your ‘cup of tea' then boy do we have a trip you: Our first in June 2009 is Unicycle Kenya & Tanzania with our awesome 16 day itinerary from Nairobi to Dar es Salaam. This will be the first time such a trip has been run in Africa and a great reception from the locals is guaranteed!! See details below...

Riding far from busy roads and main tourist routes you will experience a different face of Africa - local villages and traditional tribesmen, breathtaking scenery and wildlife grazing on the plains. We travel through open savannah, desert, mountain rainforest, two game parks and tropical coastline. We follow the foothills of Mt Kilimanjaro with its snow-covered peaks and camp in the wilderness under a cloudless African sky.

WHAT IS THE UNICYCLING LIKE?

12 days unicycling - 90% on dirt and 4x4 roads, some paved roads, and a wee bit of non-technical single track.
While most of the riding on this trip is non-technical from a biking perspective it is suited to skilled unicyclists.
A good level of fitness will add to the enjoyment of your trip.
